JohnLP560 Report post Posted November 14, 2010 I noticed that on my 07 G when I am in a parking garage making low speed turns, it makes creaking noises. Sounds like something in the steering collum. Any idea what it is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
webster132 Report post Posted November 14, 2010 I had this once on a '06. I believe it was the suspension bushings or something like that. Took it to service and they fixed it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURO_C Report post Posted November 15, 2010 John I need more details. 1. Are you going over bumps while doing slow turns? 2. Noise heard with windows up or down? 3. Does the noise also occurs while a stand still? Let us know and see if I can help further more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be heard with the windows up or down, sounds like it is coming from the steering collum. Yes the noise does occur in a standstill but not as bad as if the car was going 1-5mph Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the noise does occur in a standstill but not as bad as if the car was going 1-5mph With the car running hit the lifting system button and listen for the same noise. If you hear the noise then you have a concern with a control arm most likely. I changed many control arms and hubs due to this concern. As long as you are just starting to hear the noise and it is not to load you should be able to get away with finding the control arm and changing it out and be fine. I have had to work on cars that a hub and all four controls arms needed to be changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly it doesn't matter if the car is raised or lowered, it still makes the creaking noise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check as you lift or lower the car in the noise is there. This will help narrowing down the concern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRG x Lambo Report post Posted December 2, 2010 by creaking sound, does something rubbing or making a "thudding" noise count? i noticed when i back my car out of the driveway, and wheels are turned all the way (one direction or other) it starts to make a "noise" like somethings rubbing...
